Going to miss you Steve.

RIP. I remember talking to him several times on the forums via pm and such.
Seemed like a really genuinely great guy.
The man had some taste when it came to BMWs.

Thanks for sharing the Video. Too Bad I could not have met Steve, he sounded awesome.

In his Memory. Steve Langston.

I was not expecting this one. I am all getting myself ready to go to the vintage and stop by to talk to Steve and his wife. An all time great BMW enthusiast. Hopefully we can leave a spot open for him in his honor at the vintage.

I've never met the man, but I sure do remember him posting on these boards. he will be missed. RIP.

RIP. Didn't know him, but Stevie30's passion for e30s shows through in his posts on this board. And reading about the shenanigans, he seems like he was a really fun guy to be around as well.

Thanks for all the kind words about my Dad. As you guys could probably guess, he was a absolutely a good one. We hung out all the time and he was always fun to be around. He's always loved cars, and when I was a kid he would tell me how awesome the '65 and '66 Shelby Cobras were, so I always dreamed of owning one. Dad went with me to Augusta, GA when I bought mine and he was so proud for me to have one. But to show you his love for BMW's, even after I went crazy with the engine (550hp at the flywheel and only 2300 lbs) he used to say if I ever came and ran in the mountains with you guys, I'd have to run in the rear to not slow everyone down. I never knew if he was kidding or not, and he never told me he was. He always stuck to that. :)

Here's some fun facts about Dad, some may be things you weren't aware of. I don't know...

1) He was the youngest of 16 children. BIG FAMILY!
2) His very first car was a BMW Isetta
3) His first job was working as a bicycle repair guy for the world famous folk artist, Howard Finster. We used to go visit him all the time and knew him very well. Of course, he wasn't quite as famous back then.
3) When he was a young kid, his hometown of Trion, GA had only two official soap box derby races. Dad easily won both of them. I have the newspaper clippings. He built the cars all by himself.
4) He was a professional musician for many years. During these years, he was actually a drummer, and not a guitar player, even though he could always play guitar as well as anyone out there. He also could play a fiddle.
5) He was a bit of a local celebrity and went under the name, "Mr. Anonymous" and any public appearances were with a paper bag over his head. He played live and recorded many songs for the local radio stations parodying current events. Yes. The songs were just as corny and funny as the ones I'm sure he sung for ya'll.

Those are just some quick little tidbits about Dad. He was quite a character. For what it's worth, it really comforts me to see you guys liked Dad as much as he liked you. He had VERY fond memories of hanging with you guys and talked about them all the time. I'm also glad I got to meet some of you when I came up with my little son to pick Dad and his car up from the Smokies after his "burnout". :)

Thanks again for all the kind words!

I was looking forward to seeing him at the brodeo again this year and grilling him about the lipstick red interior, I met him at the fall brodeo and he was a real nice guy. I will be keeping your family in my prayers

Thanks for sharing Jake. Everyone's lives who were touched by your dad are richer for it.
